Suggest Remedy For Burn Wound In Eye
Hello around 4pm today my husband got burnt in the eye with a lit cigarete, the lit part flew off someones cigarette and hit him in his left eye he felt the glowing orange ember go into his eye. It is very sore and blurred. Although since 4pm until around 11:30 his eye stayed very blurry and painful about the last 40 minutes he's telling me its not as blurry.I don't know if I bel;ieve him. What should we do? Thank You Debra

eye doctorhas to examin and locate the injury and damage in cornea. it is a burn injury. water should have flashed immediately. now it is to be treated as corneal ulcer. apply ofloxacin .3%eyedrop6hourly. and apply neosporine eye ointment daily at bed time. every day the eye doctor should examine the eye and see the progress.
